우리 층 세탁기가 $2 밖에 안 한다고 소문내서 학교관리자들에게 알린놈들,
넌 이제 내 손에 걸리면 뼈도 못추린다. 지켜보구있을거야.


유화가 어느정도 익숙해진다.
그래도 힘들어. 아 요번주는 어떻게 좀 어떻게 밤 안샐려고 주말동안에 더일찍 시작했는데..
닝기미 고놈의 유화때문에 또 이틀밤새고.
그사이에 또 다른 수업 준비 때문에 또 거희 밤 새다시피하고.
근데 문제는 유화를 완성 시키는데 내가 그렇게 힘들어한 배경 (한 12시간만 그거 고치느라고 몇번을 칠했다 지원다). 근데 같이 일하고 있던 친구가 나중에 와서 "야 이거 이렇게 해보는거 어때?" 하더니 왓더헬 30분안에 배경 고치고 완성!


...
.......
..........
..................................................야.

이건 좀 너무하지 않나.
닝기미 우리 페인팅 선생이 대단한거다.
늘 내주시는 숙제가 수업내용을 복습하는 숙제가 아니라 전혀 새로운거를 해오라고 한다.
그러니까 우리가 실력이 있다면 8시간안에 끝낼걸 한 48시간 생고생하고나서 비밀을 알아채니가,
닝기미 당연히 우리가 그걸 잊어버리거나 까먹을리가 없지.
미쳤다고 그걸 배우지 않고 맨날 스투디오에서 삽질하면서 살게?
아 진짜 교수에대한 존경심밖에 안난다.
으, 덜덜덜
주말이라고 맘 편한게 아니야 ㅠ.

There's still more books I need to buy, but forget that. I'm going to try and take them out of the library and read them first. If not that, THEN I'll buy them. Every time I have to go to the RISD store to get supplies for painting class I almost have a friggin heart attack.

But my professor liked my oil painting the best. HA.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA IN YOUR FACE! I AM AWESOME.
Oil painting actually really fun. It's just really time consuming. Right now I'm getting ready to prep for the next paintings I'm doing. I have to do one oil painting for painting studio, and another for illustration studio (our professor gave us an extra week - THANK GOD). I'm going to do the painting for illustration in acrylic paint though. That will be quicker and I won't run out of paint as easily.

Did you know that oil paint dries REALLY SLOW? It's still in the cabinet in the illustration studio building because I don't want to touch it before it dries and then ruin it, because I worked SO HARD on that thing.

I'll call you tomorrow!
It's raining so hard right now.

Okay, so I'm in the illustration studio right now taking a short break from my oil painting and using Evelyn's laptop. I just wanted to say wtf people in Providence are SUCH BAD DRIVERS. I was crossing the street from the illustration building to 15 West to get dinner and THE WALK SIGN WAS ON and some STUPID TAXI ALMOST RAN ME OVER. WHAT THE HELL. THE WALK SIGN WAS ON AND THAT THE RED LIGHT FOR TRAFFIC WAS ON TOO. YOU ALMOST MADE ROADKILL OUT OF ME YOU STUPID DRIVER.

I crossed myself over with the lords prayer after that becase thank god that the car didn't hit me but the car didn't even fucking slow down or anything. I HAD TO FRIGGIN JUMP OUT OF THE WAY.

Thank god.
Ugh.

Now back to my painting.

Illustration studio crit went well. I have a lot of good ideas, but size is a problem. If we had more time I'd be able to make it the size I want to.... like, 4 feet wide size. Right now I'm in the middle of reading and making up work for my English class. Wish me luck.

Illustration Studio: AMAZING.
Oren Sherman is our professor, and I really do believe that he must be one of the best professors here ever. Right from the bat he stated that he doesn't think that the word "commercial" is ugly. Commerce is vital to art, which seems like a paradox but it really isn't. Fine Arts people who say that Illustration is a commercial art are stupid, because as long as there is a consumer, then you ARE a commercial artist. The difference between Fine Arts and Illustration is that in Illustration, you learn to EXPLAIN and COMMUNICATE your own ideas through someone else's concept.

More things that were so amazing:
- Failure is great, as long as you put in at least 12 hours into it.
- Don't perform; work hard and EARN.
- We will grow up to COMMUNICATE with our peers.
- FUN, FAME, and FORTUNE: two out of three of these means a SUCCESS.
- Religious paintings are fine art, but they are also the first ever Illustrations.
- Beauty and Violence are the universal drama of humanity.
- The best illustrations/fine art gets you IN to the story, explains it, and then gets you OUT.
- 나 자신에게 재미있고 인상적이어야 남 한테도 재미있고 인상적이다. If it's not fun for you to do it, then it won't be fun to your audience. In this sense, 에술가들이야말로 정말 가장 이기적인 사람들이다. (나 일러스트 정말 잘 고른것같지않아요? ㅋ)

He also warned us: "DO NOT LOOK AT MY ART. My own personal style and preference has nothing to do with this class, so don't try to imitate it to get good grades. I'm here to teach about how I got here, not what I do, and I do not want to influence your OWN career negatively. I'm here to influence you about how you can also become successful in your own way and have your OWN careers while having fun in life, because life is too short to be boring, and I am sure this is what we BOTH want."

My HW is to take Frankenstein, read it, and connect to it from personal experience. Think deep about the story and how it relates to your own person. We are not going to "illustrate" this book so NO DRAWINGS of actual Frankenstein. We will have our own interpretation.



English Class: BAD.
If Illustration Studio was super amazing, then English class was the exact opposite. Our professor is in fact NOT a professor, but an INSTRUCTOR from the University of RI. Apparently there were so many people who had to take this class that they hired her or something. Plus, she is exactly like Ms. Johnson. No, I will not stand for this. I am paying a FORTUNE to be educated here, so I refuse to be instructed by someone who isn't even tenured. I am going to the Registrar, my Liberal Arts Department, AND my Illustration Advisor to discuss this and switch to a different English class that has an ACTUAL professor before it's too late. I am not going to sit around and let bad things happen. I love this school too much to actually come here and let things go bad. I am taking ACTION.
